Each child was given crayons and a drawing pad donated by Dick Blick Art Materials www.dickblick.com that they then could take home. They were also given a drawing book, pencil, eraser and pencil sharpener. None of these children had any art lessons before, nor access to supplies like this - but all immediately got to work creating wonderful works of art. |
The kids did an amazing job. This is nine year old Mbatha and her black rhino drawing. |
Here is Preston, the founder of the Nature Center and Jan's guide, helping the kids. Look at the concentration on their faces! |
This is Emma - the youngest of the "artists" - she is in Kindergarten. Watch for more information later this fall on how to purchase one of the calendars to help in this fund raising effort! |
